Hamiltonian LGT in the complete Fourier analysis basis

Abstract

The main problem in the Hamiltonian formulation of Lattice Gauge Theories is the determination of an appropriate basis avoiding the over-completeness arising from Mandelstam relations. We short-cut this problem using Harmonic analysis on Lie-Groups and intertwining operators formalism to explicitly construct a basis of the Hilbert space. Our analysis is based only on properties of the tensor category of Lie-Group representations. The Hamiltonian of such theories is calculated yielding a sparse matrix whose spectrum and eigenstates could be exactly derived as functions of the coupling $g^2$
